Unlock your phone. If you are not sure how to unlock, please see below.

Download the TWRP and ADB tool onto your computer. Yes, you need a computer to do this.

Install the HTC driver on computer.

How to unlock

HTC can offer you official unlocks, simply go to HTCDEV and register for official unlock code. Fill your info (preferably with a Google account) and follow the steps. You should receive an email with the code and procedures attached. Or, you can try the following way:

Enter bootloader mode: Turn off your phone and take out the battery. After a few seconds put it back. If cannot take out battery, then turn off the “express boot” mode (name may vary, it’s a function meant for fast initiation of cellphone). When switched off, hold [Volume down] + [Battery] to enter Bootloader mode, and connect your phone to computer.

Download the ADB tool (there are plenty online). When finished, run the [shell.bat] and type the command: fastboot oem get_identifier_token and press Enter.

Mark the text that appeared (do not include the spaces)

Press enter to paste the text and keep it in a file.

Download TWRP

Go to TWRP’s official website for download. Or you can find it here on the website

Root

Reboot to Bootloader (This time, press [Volume up] and battery for 5+ sec)

Rename the TWRP as “recovery” and copy it into the adb tool. Right click to input command

Type “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img” and wait it to finish. Then type “fastboot reboot” and wait for your phone to reboot

Copy SuperSU.zip to phone’s internal memory. To find the best SuperSU version that fits your phone, you may need a few tries and see if there is any tips online (the latest is not always the best fit)

And you should be all set XD
